At 61 I finally have been prescribed corrective lenses. Bifocals
no less. When I finally got them I realized how my eyesight had
deteriorated over the years, all the cheats and work arounds I
had (re)invented over the years to cope. I can see again! I had
gotten used to being relatively blind. Now I can see again! (Pardon
my redundancy. Or don't, but hey, did I mention I can see again!)

I quit smoking (okay, I still have a stogie or bowl of baccer every three
to eight weeks or so, the ounce of tobacco I got with my Iatest meerschaum
will probably last until I retire.), so who cares if they keep banning
smoking in more and more places? And I'm a pistol guy, so who cares
if they ban M855 rifle ammo? Besides, I need hollow points, not solids,
for anything I need a rifle for. I enjoy my sobriety and my "rheumatiz"
isn't that bad, so who cares if marijuana is illegal? And I don't mind
specifying that I am exercising my Fifth Amendment Rights, so who
cares that standing mute can be used against you if you don't?
And I really don't care if the NSA snoops me.

Or maybe I'm coping with freedoms I've lost, had watered down, or never had.
Maybe a bunch of us Americans need "magic glasses" to restore our freedom and
help us see how much of it had been stolen.
